Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, calls on presidential candidate Peter Obi to apologise and pay a N25,000 fine after what he describes as a wrongful parking incident at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Keyamo, in statements reported by Vanguard and The Punch, says Obi should apologise to airport officials and settle the stated fine for allegedly violating parking rules. The minister also rejects Obi’s characterisation of the incident as “persecution,” framing it instead as a matter governed by applicable regulations at the airport.
According to the reports, Keyamo’s demand is communicated publicly and linked to the airport’s enforcement actions, including clamping. The outlets state that Keyamo’s position is that no individual is above the law and that compliance with airport procedures is required. The reports do not provide additional details from Obi or airport management regarding the final outcome or whether the parties have reached any agreement.
